3 Places to get a buzz on for under Rs.500

Yeah, we’d all love to be sipping on 30 year old scotch at the bar of a Taj. But the reality for most of us is Old Monk at a friend’s place. It doesn’t need to be that way though, here are 3 places you can have a drink if you don’t have much cash to spare;

1. Downtown, Residency Road

A.K.A the ‘Good ol’ Place’. Downtown has been the watering hole of choice for Bangloreans for as long as I can remember.

What 500 will get ya':4 pints of beer /5 Large Old Monk/3 Large Signature Whiskey

2. Scottish Pub, St.Marks Road

Scottish ain’t much. But that’s the intended effect. Its a no-frills watering hole. It is the simplicity of this place that makes it so nice. Their drinks menu is kinda small, they serve one brand of beer and one brand of wine, and that’s ’bout it. You can have beer by pitcher or pint and wine by small glass or large, refreshingly simple isn’t it?

What 500 will get ya': 8 pints of beer/7 small glasses of wine

3.Filling Station, Koramangala

Filling Station is a place you go for the drink, and not much else. It ain’t much to look at, the ambience is gloomy and the music is just sad, but once you look at the bar menu you’ll be will to overlook the rest. Plus the Starters are great!
